Busta Rhymes, T.I. and Big Boi led tributes to late rapper Pimp C on the third anniversary of the star’s death. Pimp C, real name Chad Butler, died on 4 December, 2007 after suffering an accidental drug overdose complicated by a pre-existing sleep disorder.

On Saturday Butler’s pals took to Twitter.com to remember the hip-hop star and mark the anniversary of his passing.

Other stars who remembered Butler included rapper David Banner, who added a picture of himself with Pimp C on Facebook.com, meanwhile his close pal and collaborator Bun B paid tribute, adding, “Keep it 100 with the people you love today. Don’t hold back. They might not wanna hear it, but they’ll appreciate it later.”
